Nigeria: summary

FamilyTreeDNA holds for Nigeria: 145 kits with a Y-DNA result and 19 kits with mtDNA. On the paternal line the most common are E-M2 (E1b1a) — 59%, E-U174 — 11% and E-M191* — 9%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only.

Detailed pages for each line are linked below the summaries.

Paternal line · Y-DNA

n=145 · 5 branches shown

Main branches of the Y tree. Each branch counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. Age is how many years ago the branch's common ancestor lived (TMRCA).

Each colour is one of the eight most common macro-haplogroups worldwide (the first letter of the haplogroup, such as R or J). Everything else is grey.RIJENGQTother

Y-DNA · on leaves

share of kits that reached the finest branch of the tree. The rest stopped at a broad branch: their test was not detailed enough.

Big Y

rough share of kits with a Big Y test, a full read of the Y chromosome. It is estimated from the branches where the region's kits sit, so it is an estimate, not a count.
